+Storybook has [hundreds of reusable addons](https://storybook.js.org/integrations) packaged as NPM modules. Let's walk through how to extend Storybook by installing and registering addons.
 
-### Using addons
+## Automatic installation
 
-With the exception of preset addons, all addons have the same installation process: install and register.
+Storybook includes a [`storybook add`](../api/cli-options.md#add) command to automate the setup of addons. Several community-led addons can be added using this command, except for preset addons. We encourage you to read the addon's documentation to learn more about its installation process.
 
-For example, to include accessibility testing in Storybook, run the following command to install the necessary addon:
+Run the `storybook add` command using your chosen package manager, and the CLI will update your Storybook configuration to include the addon and install any necessary dependencies.

-### Using preset addons
+### Manual installation
 
-Storybook preset addons are grouped collections of specific `babel`, `webpack` and `addons` configurations for distinct use cases. Each one with its own set of instructions. Preset addons have a three-step installation process: install, register and optionally configuration.
+Storybook addons are always added through the [`addons`](../api/main-config-addons.md) configuration array in [`.storybook/main.js|ts`](../configure/index.md). The following example shows how to manually add the [Accessibility addon](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-a11y) to Storybook.
 
-For example, to use SCSS styling, run the following command to install the addon and the required dependencies:
+Run the following command with your package manager of choice to install the addon.

-- Webpack loader configuration
+### Removing addons
 
-Consider the following example:
+To remove an addon from Storybook, you can choose to manually uninstall it and remove it from the configuration file (i.e., [`.storybook/main.js|ts`](../configure/index.md)) or opt-in to do it automatically via the CLI with the [`remove`](../api/cli-options.md#remove) command.
